And so @DubCityCouncil meeting ends w/ 42 acre public land on #OscarTraynorRoad worth €44 million being given to @GlenveaghHomes & in return DCC will pay developer €58 million more than it would cost to build directly. @greenparty_ie @labour join FFFG in the great giveaway. pic.twitter.com/sYtXciBJ5G

Last night.
The vote was approved 36 to 23. Councillors had put forward a plan to have the land developed directly by the council but an assessment by the Department of Housing found it would be at least five years before the project would be at the ready to build stage.

Meanwhile…
Imagine voting against a request for key information on the financial aspects of the #OscarTraynorRoad deal which involves transferring public land to private developer @GlenveaghHomes? Cllrs from @greenparty_ie @labour just voted against my Section 136 request. Incredible.
